They are not supposed to, just like they are not supposed to indicate that they are split 11:1. However, the forewoman was female, and thus most likely she did identify the gender of the hold-out juror in the note due to the nature of her complaint. This would have been necessary anyway, as the forewoman was specifically seeking to complain about the male hold-out juror, who she claims admitted doubt but still would not vote for acquittal. This is also highly unusual and should not be done. Yet it was done, and this then led the judge to again instruct each juror individually. However, in her jury note, the forewoman complained about one specific juror and most likely identified his gender. This is no doubt how the defense lawyer found out the gender of the hold out juror. Because the forewoman specifically complained about him having admitted doubt but still refusing to vote for acquittal. What is your view on this, leaving aside "post partum", let us say somebody is in the throes of a depression do you think they can still decide not to kill a child? I would say yes, since a depression is not insanity of the kind that would make it impossible for you to decide to do what is right under the law. This is no doubt why the copy cat killer claimed the boy she killed was the "anti-christ". She will get the acquittal for sure.
